Hi, I was wanting to get in touch with a stall holder who sells hand spun wool at the Cowes Island Craft Market. I brought some beautiful wool from her last year and would like to purchase some more but I am not able to get to the market from Melbourne this week.
I believe her name is Karen.
Does anyone have any details for her as I would be keen to get in touch to buy some more wool.

Phillip island is not a dog friendly place as published, so we now holiday at Inverloch.
On the Island, you need a car to take your dog for a walk on only a couple of beaches on the entire Island. These are, well away from all of the holiday accomodation places and shops.
The next ban, will be, not being able to walk your dog through the shopping precinct, followed closely by, don't bring your dog or cat onto the island at any time.
We have free/very cheap accomodation available any time on the island. It has been available to us for over 25 years, for which we have been very appreciative, but we can't walk the dog !!!!!!!!!
WITHOUT RISKING A FINE FROM THE EVER INCREASING COUNCIL RANGERS, WHO ARE VERY PLEASANT WHEN HANDING THEM TO YOU.
iNVERLOCH HAS DOG FRIENDLY LEAD FREE BEACHES NEAR THE SHOPS AND ACCOMMODATION PLACES, AND THEY PROVIDE WATER AT ALL THE FOOD OUTLETS, EXCEPT THE MALL.
ALMOST EVERYBODY LIVING THERE AND/OR HOLIDAYING THERE HAS ONE, OR WANTS TO PAT YOURS.
We pay full price for our accomodation.
Note: No shortage of reasonably priced dog friendly accomodation.
After holidaying on the island for 10 years, we've given them all up, as digruntled selfish Greenies. Interested only in taking your money to promote their "Green" lifestyle, on Publicly Owned Land, and to initiate more legal bids to control more land/land use for their own benefit, CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE VISITORS.
The Plovers must be the most over protected bird in all of Australia, because they have protected land/nests everywhere around Australia's
coastline.
Don't bother reponding with any personal insults, because I only came across this rubbish from The Island's advertising company by accident, and I won't be returning to it.
